Sorry to resurrect such an old thread....

I just figured I'd mention that:

After all this time, I'm still doing the same job, just for another company. I got a call earlier, thinking I was about to be fired from THIS job. Not for anything I did, but because business has been slow, and they've been letting people go.

I got kicked upstairs. For a couple weeks, at least.

Overall, it doesn't mean much, but for the time being it means that I get to NOT freeze to death during the day, I get to have a cushy office job, I get regular hours, I get a lunch break, I get a desk, and I get all the things normally associated with an 'office job'

Which has been my goal since I was 14.

I'll be turning 30 about a month from now.....

This is somewhat exciting. For me, at least. I don't expect anyone else here to really care.

I don't remember seeing this when you first posted it.

As I was reading along the thread I almost stopped and posted that this may very well be one of the best things that has happened. It sounded like a very frustrating situation and sounded like you liked the work but not the setup, but then as I read more I see that is exactly what happened.

Leaving a job for a better one has happened to me and others I've known several times and I've noticed it often works out for the very best, though it's hard to see it at the time.

Glad to see things are going well.

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.
